Good to know that malicious things are always on the other side
of the router. I must be hallucinating when I encounter pwned
boxes with sniffers running inside of a network. Everyone
restricts MAC addresses at their switches. Nobody is vulnerable
to cable taps, wireless sniffing, ICMP redirects, or any other
trickery.
Sarcasm aside, I don't think being shielded from the outside
makes that much difference. It's foolish to assume that a
corporate intranet is squeaky clean.
